This week’s photo highlights several rotary dryers under production at FEECO. The photo was taken in FEECO’s fabrication facility, just shortly after our founding in 1951. For decades, many industries have been faced with the same problem: product moisture. Depending on material composition, moisture can …
Pin mixers are used for various agglomeration processes including material conditioning, mixing, de-dusting, agglomerating, and micro-pelletizing. They can be used as a stand-alone agglomeration unit, or in combination with a disc pelletizer or agglomeration drum, to produce a pelletized product. Pin mixers use a rotor …
Today’s photo is a 3D combustion chamber. Combustion chambers are used to keep material from coming into direct contact with the burner flame in either a rotary dryer or kiln. The combustion chamber houses the combustion reaction, and directs the airflow into the drum. The …
Our photo this week is a sand dryer used in processing frac sand. The 8’-6” x 50’ long dryer utilizes co-current airflow to reduce the moisture content of mined sand. The rotary dryer contains an additional 5’ shell length to incorporate flame cut openings to …
This week’s photo highlights fly ash pellets. FEECO’s familiarity with fly ash agglomeration dates back to 1951.
